Transfer iphone photo library folders to computer

Instead of syncing all of my photos on my iPhone at once over to my Macbook Pro in order to transfer my photos over to iPhoto, I would like some sort of semblance in doing so. I have all my photos on my iPhone organized in different folders in my iPhone photo library. How do I transfer my folders (pictures in them) over to my computer so that I don't have to reorganize each and every photo once they've been synced to my computer?

1. The photo library on your phone is not the same as your iPhoto Library. For a start, thoe images have been compressed to a very small size to save space on the device and you're missing versions, metadata and so on.
2. You would be better restoring from a back up.
3. You can get these versions off your phone with an app like http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/36028/iphone-photo-transfer . There are others. Search on MacUpdate
4. Once you've recovered them to the computer you'll need to create a new Library to import them.

    How do I transfer photos from iPhone photo library?
    I had my iPhoto library and Time Machine Backup on an external drive on my Mac Mini - not a clever strategy I know! I recently synced my photo library successfully with my iPhone 5 but now the external drive has died and my most recent backup (on another external drive) is 5 months old. Can anyone advise what is the simplest/quickest method of transferring these photos back from my iPhone photo library whilst ideally maintaining the 'events' folder type structure? Preview doesn't do it as this only allows me to copy photos taken with the iPHone, not the ones in the library.

    Do you have iPhoto on your iPhone?
    Then this should work - use iTunes to sync your iPhoto Library back:

    how do i transfer photos from my photo library to my computer?

    I also had this problem a while ago.  What worked for me is when I attached the photos in the photo library to an email and sent it to myself.  I used yahoo mail in my iphone.
    Open yahoo mail in your iphone and compose an email. You will find a camera icon; click it and afterwards click "Choose from Library" and then select the folder (i.e. Photo Library) where the picture you want to transfer is located.
    Enjoy!

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

  • Iphone photo library

    my iphone photo library and been updating for 12 hours....i can't get into the library

    The only pics that you can take off of the iphone are the ones taken with the iphone.
    Since the iphone is not designed as storage for photos ( just a mirror of the selected albums on your computer), you cannot take other pictures off of the iphone.
    There may be 3rd party software that may allow this. However, since the iphone optimizes resolution/file size for iphone viewing, the pictures would be in lower resolution than the original.

  • Photos library on one computer music on another computer cant sync both .

    Ok I got my photo library on one computer with itunes registered to me. I have my video and music and ringtones on another computer with itunes registered to me. I want the ringtones and video from one computer on my iphone but I have to erase my photo library.
    I am NOT GOING TO MOVE MY PHOTO LIBRARY TO AN OTHER COMPUTER just so the iPhone can access MY FILES.
    What can i do.

    really, despite what you don't want to do, Transferring all of your photos from one library to another isn't that hard:
    1. Insert a blank CD or DVD depending on how many photos you have.
    2. Select all of the photos in you iPhoto library and drag them to the CD/DVD. Burn it.
    3. Insert the CD/DVD into the computer with the music.
    4. Open iPhoto, open the CD/DVD. Select all of the photos on the CD/DVD. Drag them to your iPhoto library.
    5. And your done...depending on how many photos you have the import will only take anywhere from 5 minutes to half an hour...so whats the big deal?
    Hope this helps!

  • Photo on my iPhone Photo Library that I want to delete.

    It's not in iPhoto on my Mac, yet shows up in the iPhone, Photo Library and it will not delete. How can I delete it? This is one of the reasons I dislike iPhoto.
    iOS 5 and OS X Lion (latest iOS's)

    Thanks for responding Rysz.
    When I say Photo Library, I'm referring to the file hierachy inside the default 'Photos' app that ships with iPhone.
    Once opened you are presented with the following list of Albums.
    Camera Roll
    Photo Library
    Last Import
    Last 12 Months
    Inside the Photo Library, if I select the photo I want to delete, my action options are: Share, Copy, Add To. Not delete. There is no way to delete a photo from iPhone once it is inside the Photo Library.
    If I tap to open the photo my only other options are in a UIActionSheet:
    Email Photo
    Message
    Assign to Contact
    Use as Wallpaper
    Tweet
    Print
    Cancel
    I'm pretty familiar with Apple devices and user experience, but this seems a major bug.
    If anyone has an idea, that would be great.
